Oprah Winfrey lives in Chicago, not in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or Harrisburg. But during an online townhall on Thursday, November 3, Winfrey made it clear that if she did live anywhere in Pennsylvania, she would be voting for Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman — not Dr. Mehmet Oz — in the Keystone State's 2022 U.S. Senate race.

Oz owes much of his success as a television doctor to Winfrey, who hasn't had a lot to say about the Pennsylvania Senate race or Oz's campaign. But during the townhall, she told attendees, "I said it was up to the citizens of Pennsylvania. But I would tell you all this: If I lived in Pennsylvania, I would have already cast my vote for John Fetterman for many reasons."
